I have an AppleVision 1710 display with power cord plugged directly to power outlet (not via my 7300), it has speakers and you plug keyboard and or mouse into it, there are a couple of things it does not do until connected by monitor cable to the computer:
(1) Make coffee
(2) Show the slightest sign of life, not even a little flicker of green or any other in its tiny square indicator light. When the computer is actually booting up, the little light comes to life and then all glory on the screen
Quite frankly, I can live with the first but have always found the second irritating. You can actually turn it on and off when booted up but not before - so you are not quite sure when there is any prob in booting up whether the monitor is switched on or not. And you can't warm it up while you are making an early cold morning coffee (as you have to - see (1) above). And when you hot restart, it unnecessarily turns the monitor off and then on ... But I have to say, this is a very crisp screen unlike any other old Trinitron I have ever had, someone gave it to me and maybe it has not had much use, and the speakers are grand enough for me.

Do you hear the computer's chime as you boot?
With my now dead AppleVision 1710, (no speakers on the monitor), the chime would sound as I booted the computer.
But with my AppleVision 1710AV (the model with speakers below), there is no audible chime. In fact it's not clear that anything is working at all, until a few seconds later, when you hear the slight groan of the degauss process and the green LED finally turns on.
